Can Dry-type Transformers Be Skid-mounted for Use in Mobile Applications and Surface Mining Operations?

Can dry-type transformers be skid-mounted for use in mobile applications and surface mining operations?

Yes, dry-type transformers can be skid-mounted for use in mobile applications and surface mining operations. Skid mounting is a common method for providing mobility and portability to electrical equipment, including transformers.

A skid-mounted dry-type transformer typically consists of a transformer mounted on a steel platform or skid, which can be easily transported by truck or trailer to different locations. This makes them ideal for use in mobile applications, such as surface mining operations, on oil and gas drilling sites or anywhere that electrical power is required in remote locations.

Skid-mounted dry-type transformers can be customised to meet the specific requirements of the application, including the type and size of the transformer, the cooling requirements and any additional features, such as enclosures or cable connections.

It is important to consider the environmental requirements of the application when designing a skid-mounted dry-type transformer, such as the impact of vibration, temperature, dust and moisture on the performance and lifespan of the transformer.

Overall, dry-type transformers can be skid-mounted for use in mobile applications and surface mining operations, providing a flexible and portable solution for electrical power requirements in remote locations. However, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the application and consult with a competent company that specialises in the supply of dry-type transformers.
